SEPTEMBER 2019 BEACON

Hard to believe we are a few short weeks away from Haul Out weekend. The end of the Michigan boating season always seems to arrive much too quickly. The August events were all well organized and well attended. Thanks to all who contributed to making the events successful. Of particular note are a few events new for this year including the Irish Pub Party, restarting of the poker run, the Euchre Tournament and Wine Tasting. It is really exciting to be a part of our Club with so many members finding fun and creative ways to spark participation, enthusiasm and fellowship. No words can express the gratitude of the Club to the members who put in endless hours of extra work to make these events possible. I want to extend special thanks to all of the candidates who stepped forward to commit time and hard work to participate in the governance of our Club. The Club is very healthy in terms of membership and finances. It is vitally important to continually bring new talent with new ideas to sustain our upward momentum and deliver results expected by the greater membership. I hope all members take seriously their responsibility to vote in the upcoming election.
